Triangular forum, Roman public forum in Pompeii, Italy.

Built during the second century BC, this forum represents one of the oldest sacred areas in Pompeii, with structures dating back to the sixth century BC.
The forum features a Doric temple with tuff columns and includes a rectangular enclosure interpreted as the tomb of Heracles, the legendary city founder.
